The walk will complete a circuit in the Market area that will take us past a number of buildings that have been restored or adapted for new uses and inhabitants. In the market, these include the ByWard Market Building where we begin, as well as the Mercury Court and the CHUM Tower.
The route will take us north on William St, west on Clarence, south through Jeanne d'Arc Courtyard to York St, east to ByWard Market Square, and back to the Market south entrance where we started. See illustration.
